ABOUT TOM TRENT BUILDERS:

EXPERIENCE—A licensed general contractor in Sonoma County since 1977, we have completed a wide variety of residential and light commercial projects, both new construction and remodeling.

SUSBAINABILITY—We utilize recycled, non-toxic, sustainably-produced materials and alternative methods whenever possible, and can retrofit existing buildings to improve energy-efficiency, indoor air quality and overall health and comfort. A Certified Green Building Professional with Build It Green since 2008, we built the first of several solar-powered homes more than 15 years ago.

COMMITMENT—Our primary focus is on quality craftsmanship and professional service to create energy-efficient buildings of lasting value that require minimal maintenance and provide comfortable, healthy living/working space.

COMMUNICATION—Open, honest communication is the essential element of a successful building project. Our approach is client-centered in that we listen very carefully to the people that are going to be using and enjoying what we build. This allows us to focus our efforts to provide them with exactly what they are hoping for.

INTEGRITY—Over the years we have built a reputation for honesty and professionalism, carrying on a third-generation family business tradition. We participate in on-going educational and training forums to stay current on new developments.

FOLLOW THROUGH—Careful attention to details—from estimating, through construction, to final completion—insures a well-built project that converts the client’s vision into reality.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS—Good building is a team process, involving designer, client, general contractor and sub-contractors all working together in harmony. Most of our sub-contractors have worked on our projects over many years, insuring a smooth flow of work. Much of our business comes from satisfied clients who call on us again.

OUR CLIENT-CENTERED APPROACH

Grounded in principles I learned from my father and grandfather—to provide quality materials and excellent customer service—I have been building and remodeling in Bodega Bay, Sebastopol, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Calistoga, Cazadero, and the Russian River area for more than 30 years.

Utilizing recycled old-growth wood, purchasing lumber from sustainable and renewable harvests, bringing energy-efficient alternative materials and methods into the process, and building green are central to my vision. My Green Building record started more than 15 years ago, when I built the first of several solar homes. It integrated various kinds of alternative energy.

I have experience with a wide variety of architectural styles, from Arts and Crafts to traditional Victorian as well as contemporary. Creating buildings with lasting value and beauty that are energy-efficient and require little maintenance are the goals that guide my work.

My approach is client-centered. Whether working from blueprints or sketches on scratch paper, I listen to the people who are going to be using and enjoying what I build. What they have to say reveals what is most important to them about their project. This insight allows me to focus my efforts in ways that will provide them with exactly what they are hoping for.
